PROComprehensive eldercare planning assistant that helps adult children coordinate health, legal, financial, and living arrangements for aging parents while managing family dynamics and preventing caregiver burnout.
Example Usage
“My 72-year-old mom was just diagnosed with Parkinson’s. She still lives alone 30 minutes away, but I’m starting to see her struggle with cooking and medication management. I work full-time and have two teenagers. My brother lives across the country and my sister is dealing with her own health issues. I don’t even know where to start - do we need power of attorney? Should she move? How do I talk to my siblings about helping without starting a fight? Can you help me create a care coordination plan that covers health, legal documents, finances, and how we divide responsibilities as a family?”
